    Linux isn’t necessarilly immune. A game could easilly ask the user to install a DKMS module or use their kernel image.

    They don’t, but that would be the equivilant.

      That statement is to easy. It all depends on how much permissions you give the game and in what kind of environment you execute your game. From sandboxing to inmutable root file systems there is a lot possible to exactly prevent this to happen.
